Commanders in the DOD knew at the time of Hegseth's murder-order that the excuse they've conspired to give now for his #warCrime is phony. Does this jawdropping revelation make it slightly more likely for there to be any consequences forthcoming, for #warCriminal Pete's (and Don's) atrocity? Could it help prevent their hellbent intention to overthrow the legal government of Venezuela in a stupid plundering of that country's state-owned oil - which will necessarily lead to intensive national & global insecurity, impoverishment & needless death, a planned invasion/conquest/murder/theft supported only by the flimsy concocted & ever-changing #drugBoats lie, as pretext for it all?

CNN is now reporting the two men killed in the second strike didn't actually have a radio or communication device, contradicting another defense that's been floated.
That supports what I found: Rep Adam Smith told me the briefing revealed that no recording of any radio transmission exists:
